RE: My Actifit Report Card: February 26 2019
I'm just trying to get my head around this.
So, there's a pipeline running down the hill with a rail car that runs on the pipeline support structure?
I've never seen anything like that before, it's an awesome idea though.
Where does the wooden stave come into it?
When I think of a stave I normally think of a barrel, so I'm struggling to understand why they'd use wooden staves on a steel and presumably concrete pipeline.
The wooden pipeline section is not very steep almost level from the dam to where it goes into the metal down pipe then runs down the steep end into the power station. The reason for building a new wooden stave pipeline was to preserve the history as this power scheme is heritage listed.
